UNDERGROUND PARIS.
Description of a Visit to the Catacombs Of
the French apitaL

OF u VISIT TO tine CatacOmDS oil
the French apitaL
The cataco nbs of Paris are of enor-
nous extent. They were originally
stone quarries, and more than one
telth of the city's extent is honey
combed by them. Some of them are
said to have been in existence for fif-
teen centuries, but it is only within
the last hundred years that they have
served for purposes of burial. OF the
old cemeteries of Paris, the ltrgest and
most popular was that of the limo
cents, compr sing not only vaults be-
meath the church, bu. great pits for the
use of the common people, where hum
dreds of corpses were buried together.
The place became such Il hot-bed of
disease from overcrowding that sue
cessive edicts were issued prohibiting
further burial there, but it was con-
tinued until the place became abso-
lutely loathsome.
In 1880 il was computed that the
cemetery was twenty-six feet deep in
dead bodies, and at that time, after it
had been used for nearly seven hum
dred years, it was finally closed. As
the site was regarded as center of in
lection, the church was pulled down,
and the human remains transferred to
the quarries, which received the name
of catacombs

winch the remains of many other
churches have been removed, are nm.

OF discovery therein. Lantern in hand

Discrimination in Words.


Pretty refers to external beauty on q
small scale. Grace of manner is n
natural gift; elegance implies cultiva-
ton. Well bred is referable to general
conduct rather than individual actions
Beautiful is the strongest word of It's
class, implying softness a.ld delicacy in
addition to every thing that Is in
similar words. Courtesy has reference
to others, politeness to ourselves. The
former is a duty or privilege to others,
the latter is behavior assumed from
proper self-respeet Benevolent refers
to the character of the agent acting,
beneiicent to the act performed.
Charitable is restricted to almsgiving
except when used in reference to iudg-
ment of others. Lovely is used only
where there is something more than ex-
ternal beauty, when there is a combina-
ton of personal beauty and pleasing
manner. Faultlcss features do not
make a lady loueiy who is disagreeable
in disposition. --Joqrnai Of Education.

age, who have! for some reason best
known to themselves, agreed to play
quits. His business is such that,
although wealthy man and doing
business in this city, he only goes home
once each week, on Saturday evenings,
and remains until Monday. When she
expects the arrival of her unl owed lord,
